NAME¶
dh_strip_nondeterminism - strip uninteresting, non-deterministic information
from files
SYNOPSIS¶
dh_strip_nondeterminism [
debhelper options]
[
-Xitem]
DESCRIPTION¶
dh_strip_nondeterminism is a debhelper program that is responsible for
stripping uninteresting, non-deterministic information, such as timestamps,
from compiled files so that the build is reproducible.
This program examines your package build directories and works out what to strip
on its own. It uses
file(1) and filenames to figure out what files
should have non-determinism stripped from them. In general it seems to make
very good guesses, and will do the right thing in almost all cases.
OPTIONS¶
- -Xitem, --exclude=item
- Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from
being stripped. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list
of things to exclude.
SEE ALSO¶

This program is a part of debhelper.
